Oh! To be 2 again!

For the past two weeks our family, namely Anna, has been babysitting a two year old named Alyssa. It is an unfortunate name, but she is still cute. In these two weeks we have learned the extent of her vast vocabulary. I am listing all she ever said down below:

1. Go away!
2. Go away to!
3. Gimme' me!
4. No
5. My juice!
6. nana (banana)
7. affle (apple)
8. Juice (milk, or any other beverage, it's all juice)
9. nana (Anna, we never knew if she wanted Anna or just a banana)
10. Maggie! (She never just said Maggie, she always yelled it)
11. squeezy cheese
12. pretty toes
13. peas (please)
14. bebe (blanket)
15. bebe (baby)
16. bebe (anything she didn't know the word for, yes, it got confusing!)

My favorite thing that Allyssa did was actually the most disgusting thing she ever did. One day Maggie was eating club crackers with sharp cheddar squeeze cheese on top. Alyssa toddled over and said "gimme; me!" so Maggie handed her a cheese cracker. Instead of eating the cracker, Alyssa promptly licked all the cheese of and held up the cheeseless cracker for maggie to "refill". Disgusted, we all watched as she did this over and over again using the same cracker for an hour and draining us of all our squeezy cheese! Alyssa was a very entertaining two year old, plus she took like 5 hour naps, she was awsome!

This is my first visit you your blog, and I must say that I enjoyed it extensively! Ignore what Molly said - you can't enjoy kids unless you torture them in some form or another! :) Keep it up!
